Drouin is all over the map in terms of projections. He's pretty much a lock in the top 10. I hear some scouts have him at 4 after Barkov, while others have him at 3. And believe it or not some scouts have him over MacKinnon. He won't go first overall but its something to note when scouts see his vision and puck skills so elite they like him more than the likely number one selection.

I don't know about a lock, but I think it's highly likely he goes top 10. For those saying top 3 though, not sure I see it. Incredible hands, very good hockey IQ and good skating, but not very physical, nothing special defensively, and a bit of a perimeter player. I really like him as a prospect overall, but I think he'll be hard pressed to beat 3 of MacKinnon, Jones, Barkov, Lindholm and Monahan.

Exactly my thoughts when I posted. Monahan is out of the top 5 (unless he gets traded to a contender instead of being with the bottom-welling 67s). That leaves Lindholm

Monahan is out of the top 5 because of the team he plays on? thats the difference between real scouts and HF scouts. Its very possible he gets bumped down but thats because some others have taken a big step foward.

I could see the argument if his stats were suffering but they aren't. Not that I mind, the further Monahan drops the better the odds of the Oilers will get him.
